[QUOTE="Katharine, post: 32764, member: 7958"] The trouble is that you can emerge from a severe hypoglycaemic coma with brain damage. It is well worth the effort to avoid severe hypos if you can. There is a device ? hypo watch. This is a watch like thing you put on your wrist. The alarm goes off if you become particularly sweaty. Sweating often occurs in severe hypos. It doesn't check the blood sugar and of course there are other causes of sweating or it may not be part of your symptomatology for hypos. I looked into this. It cost £60. I didn't buy it because my son hasn't had severe hypos/sweats and I hope the technology will have improved by the time he does. The entire night thing is a worry and I am probably the only mum who wants her son to sleep with every girl he meets (preferably nurses or doctors !) [/QUOTE]
